Trial Date Of Dec. 6 Set For Pfeifer
https://wibailoutpeople.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/dec-_6_2011_pfeifer-andre.pdf
Today Bryan G. Pfeifer, an organizer with WI BOPM, his attorney and allies attended a pre-trial hearing at the Milwaukee Municipal Court regarding a municipal citation issued for Pfeifer August 26. Pfeifer was cited for resisting/obstructing an officer while protesting Scott Walker August 26, 2011 at Messmer school in the Riverwest neighborhood of Milwaukee. Pfeifer is fighting the citation because they are bogus and are an attempt to put a chill against the progressive political movement. Pfeifer is also a journalist and was documenting the police harassment of protesters on August 26.

Houston’s Labor Council Endorses Occupy Houston
Defend Occupy Raleigh
From a FIST organizer in North Carolina:
This afternoon, info began going around that state capitol police had given ultimatum to Occupy Raleigh to remove all their stuff from the encampment site on the sidewalk before 3pm or else the cops would raid the site and take all the stuff out. Call NC State Capitol police to defend the occupation. The number is 919-733-4646.
UPDATE AS OF ABOUT 4 PM OCT 28: 8 people were arrested, including an elderly woman with disabilities, for sitting on the sidewalk. Some of those arrested at October 15 action were among those arrested this time too.
Folks have moved to jail and we are rallying outside now. There’s about 20-25 people here now, some are still over at the occupation site.

Oakland Calls – We Answer, All Out for Nov. 2
Early Tuesday morning 900 police from a dozen police agencies in the Bay Area, along with Homeland Security, brutally cracked down on demonstrators who marched in support of Occupy Oakland. The demonstrators were marching to reestablish the Oakland occupation, which was shut down earlier in the day. At least one person was critically injured, 24 year old Iraq war veteran, Scott Olsen, who was struck in the face with a projectile launched by police.
In response to the violent repression, which included the use of tear gas, guns that use incapacitating bean bags, batons and the arrests of over 85 protesters, the General Assembly of Occupy Oakland has called for a Mass Day of Action and a General Strike in Oakland to take place on Wednesday November 2nd.
We support Oakland’s call. In the wake of the violence used by the police in Oakland, also in Atlanta, Chicago, Denver,Boston, New York and elsewhere, we are asking students and community organizations, unions, anti-war groups, all progressive organizations and individuals across the country to take to the streets in solidarity. Defend Oakland! Defend all the occupations!
